"SPECIAL stats rolled for settlers" option has incorrect tooltip

"SPECIAL stats rolled for settlers" incorrectly has the "Visitors Max" tooltip in MCM. I also bring this up because while I assume this option means that random settlers will have somewhat randomized stats I can't be absolutely certain due to how often I've replayed the early game to only have settlers with 1s across the board with maybe a 2 or 3 somewhere.

On the holotape, at least on xbox, it has the correct definition. It says it’s on purpose to make basic settlers low stats. It also says that if it’s not on, the emphasis on SPECIAL for settlers wouldn’t make much sense.

So the reason you see low stats is on purpose. If random settlers had high stats, new unique settlers wouldn’t have the value they do. The training plots would instantly lose a ton of reason to exist.

That being said most of the unnamed settlers I got from settlements (ex oberland) were 1s all across the board only and that... that’s kinda dumb. It shouldn’t ever be this bad.

I was half jokingly considering this proof of how little they could get done without the players intervention, tbh.
 
I mean think about it, even Nate who saw active duty had an better standard of living with better nutrition and healthcare and education than all of post war Boston, let alone the 200 years of radiation damage to DNA and such. No wonder our players stats are so high compared to most wastelanders.
 
Oh I agree (and it works until you look at the stat of any named settler... that Mama Murphy is ready to go beast mode on your ass).

But the fact that every unnamed settler I met on Xbox literally has no skill above 1 is where your comment is hilarious. That’s why we have to do everything! Those a-holes have the innate skills of a newborn.

Another Settlement needs your help.............

About Mama Murphy... I figured it out a while ago...

At least Minuteman Preston spawns seem to start with slightly better stats.
Being away for a few ig days I found one Minuteman with 6 Enduranceand another with 4 Charisma. I doubt they used my training rooms to level up that fast.

PS: I never believed Mamas story about shooting a Deathclaw with a pipe gun and 3 bullets. She clearly meleed it. :cool:
